GEOG 1113L LAB 7 UPDATED EXAM
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
●● (Ch 7) On the hypothetical weather map on p. 109 of your lab
manual, are the winds rotating clockwise or counter-clockwise around
the storm?
Answer: counter-clockwise
●● (Ch 7) According to the diagrams on p. 109 in your lab manual, in
which direction is the storm moving as a whole? From ....
Answer: West to East
●● (Ch 7) Match the following parts of a midlatitude cyclone to the
corresponding letter(s) on the cross-section diagram on p. 109 in your
lab manual.
Answer: Cold front = C
Warm front = E
Cold air mass(es) = A, B, F
Warm air mass = D
●● (Ch 7)According to the cross section diagram on p. 109 in your lab
manual, what direction is the cold front moving?
Answer: -to the right (east)
,●● (Ch 7)According to the cross section diagram on p. 109 in your lab
manual, what direction is the warm front moving?
Answer: -to the right (east)
●● According to the map view diagram on p. 109 in your lab manual,
what is the most likely wind direction at Point D? From the __________
Answer: south
●● (Ch 7)According to the map view diagram on p. 109 in your lab
manual, at Point D, is the pressure rising or falling?
Answer: falling
●● *NOT YET GRADED* (Ch 7) Why is this pressure change
occurring at Point D?
Answer: Your Answer:
Pressure is falling at point D because pressure falls as the cold front
approaches.
●● (Ch 7) According to the diagrams on p. 109 in your lab manual, is
precipitation more likely at Point D or Point C?
Answer: Point C
, ●● *NOT YET GRADED* (Ch 7) Why is precipitation more likely at
this point (C or D)?
Answer: Your Answer:
The heaviest precipitation occurs along the cold front because of the
lifting that occurs as incoming cold air forces warm air out of that area.
Due to the midlatitude cyclone's counter-clockwise direction, the cold
front is approaching point C.
●● (Ch 7) According to the diagrams on p. 109 in your lab manual, at
Point C, what general temperature change will take place with the
passing of the cold front?
Answer: temperature decrease
●● *NOT YET GRADED* (Ch 7) Why is this temperature change
occuring at Point C?
Answer: Your Answer:
The temperature will decrease because cold fronts mark the front edge of
the upcoming cold air mass.
●● (Ch 7) According to the map view diagram on p. 109 in your lab
manual, what is the most likely wind direction at Point B? From the
__________
Answer: west
